To start off, we had to put our dog down a month ago due to being old and having bad hips, etc etc
So I come home this afternoon after the detailfest and walk in the house. I go upstairs to my room and what do I find? A beagle sleeping on my bed! I walk over the bed, the dog wakes up, sees me, and runs downstairs. I then proceed to ask the parents, and yes this is molly our new dog. She's a 1 year old beagle, pretty underweight (only weighs 12.3 lbs, should be about 17), and we can tell she's been beaten by the previous owner (she cowers whenever to make fast movements and/or move too quickly towards her).
1. How the heck do we put some weight on this dog? What would be a good brand to give her?
2. I know the cowering away thing is only going to go away with time (even then, it might not) but is there anything we can do to try and speed up the process?
3. House training. What works and what doesnt work? Since I got home around 4:30 i've already had to use my new PC brush attachment and 303 carpet and
upholstery cleaner twice on accident spots.
